Yeah thanks this is what I have heard. The BOM observations and forecasts are hopefull at the moment, though some days are forecast 20-30 w\nw and some are just 10-15.
Do you mean the wet setting in this month? Is that fairly cloudy and cool?
I am used to Singapore weather, where it can be a little light. Can I expexct a reliable daily seabreeze almost vryday?

Can be beautiful sailing Sometime s too calm and sometimes a bit wild with thunderstorms and cyclones . Beautiful conditions once the wet sets in, but be prepared to get up on the hard and tie yourself down if a cyclone is looming. Problems are stingers( deadly jellyfish) and crocodiles. The tides up ther are enormous up to 8m range, and there is occasionally good winds and surf if there is a cyclone nearby. Good value for mangoes and other tropical fruit. It is possible to hide up the creeks when you have such a shallow draught. Watch out for tropical boils and sores from sitting down too long in salty clothes.

After a while in Darwin, if you are a surfer the sight of 2.5-3m waves is too much to resist. The folklore is that crocs and stingers don't like the surf. In...
